From Global AI Governance Signals → AI Governance Actions → AIGN OS Layers
What is the Radar Engine?
Every day, hundreds of AI headlines appear: WTO trade forecasts, new laws, standards, institutional announcements. But companies rarely get the answer to the most urgent question: what does this mean for my governance – and what must I do?
The AIGN Global Governance Radar Engine is not a news digest.
It is the world’s first governance intelligence matrix: it filters global signals, clusters them into patterns, identifies governance gaps, and translates them into actionable controls mapped to AIGN OS Layers.
👉 From noise to navigation. From headlines to governance actions.
🔲 Governance Radar Matrix – September 2025
| Region | Sector | Theme | Signal & Pattern | Governance Gap | AIGN Recommendation | AIGN OS Layer | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🌍 Global | Cross-Sector | Industrial Policy | WTO forecasts AI-driven trade +34–40% and +12% GDP by 2040. Governance = industrial policy. | Compute & talent access missing in location strategies. | Reframe location & supply-chain strategies around compute, cloud, and talent access. | 1 Strategy + 5 Infra | 🔴 High / 🟡 Medium-term |
| 🇪🇺 Europe | Cross-Sector | Standards & Compliance | EU AI Act deadlines (2025–2027). Logging, oversight, FRIA–DPIA required. | No Deployer Control Register. | Build a Deployer Control Register incl. FRIA–DPIA cross-references. | 2 Policy + 3 Evidence | 🔴 High / 🟡 Medium-term |
| 🇺🇸 USA | Tech/Infra | Industrial Policy | DOJ announces antitrust scrutiny across the AI stack. | Antitrust blind spots in contracts. | Add interoperability & portability clauses to all data/model agreements. | 2 Policy + 3 Controls | 🔴 High / 🟢 Immediate |
| 🇺🇸 USA | Public Sector | Standards & Compliance | U.S. procurement guidance: NIST AI RMF becomes de facto criterion. | Non-auditable systems risk exclusion from contracts. | Apply “audit by default”: align KPIs and evidence with NIST/ISO 42001. | 3 Controls + 4 Assurance | 🔴 High / 🟡 Medium-term |
| 🇮🇳 India | Finance | Standards & Compliance | DPDP Rules (Sept 2025). AI funding tied to data governance standards. | Missing consent & transfer policies. | Implement compliance-by-design: consent UX + transfer mechanisms. | 2 Policy | 🟡 Medium / 🟢 Immediate |
| 🇸🇬 Singapore | Cross-Sector | Standards & Compliance | AI Verify ↔ NIST Crosswalk sets regional benchmark. | Outdated audit templates. | Integrate NIST ↔ ISO 42001 crosswalks into audit templates. | 3 Controls + 4 Assurance | 🟡 Medium / 🟢 Immediate |
| 🇧🇷 Brazil | Social/Ethical | Child Protection | New law: mandatory age verification & higher security for minors. | No Minor Safety policies. | Add Minor-Safety Controls (age-gating, parental consent, data classification). | 2 Policy | 🟡 Medium / 🟢 Immediate |
| 🇧🇷 Brazil | Tech/Infra | Industrial Policy | Data center tax incentives + stronger CADE competition powers. | Investments planned without governance criteria. | Make data center investments governance-ready (tax, security, sustainability). | 1 Strategy + 5 Infra | 🟡 Medium / 🟡 Medium-term |
| 🇳🇬 Nigeria | Public Sector | Emerging Governance Powers | Bill to establish a national AI commission. | Lack of market readiness. | Position early: build partnerships with governance standards as entry tickets. | 1 Strategy + 6 Stakeholders | 🟡 Medium / 🟡 Medium-term |
| 🇰🇷 Korea | Cross-Sector | Standards & Compliance | GPA Seoul Declaration: global DPAs demand trustworthy AI governance. | No FRIA–DPIA crosswalks. | Embed DPIA ↔ FRIA cross-references into governance templates. | 2 Policy + 3 Evidence | 🟡 Medium / 🟡 Medium-term |
| 🇺🇸 USA | Cross-Sector | Standards & Compliance | Colorado delays state AI law to 2026. | Fragmentation between state and federal obligations. | Prioritize federal requirements; monitor state divergence. | 2 Policy | 🟢 Low / 🟡 Medium-term |
(AIGN OS –> 1 Strategy, 2 Policy, 3 Controls/Evidence, 4 Assurance, 5 Infrastructure, 6 Stakeholders, 7 Culture/Training).
Radar Watchlist – Signals to Monitor
These signals are relevant but not yet urgent for deployers:
- OECD AI Observatory: new benchmarks for AI market adoption.
- UN ESCAP: regional study on sustainable AI governance.
- WHO: discussions on AI in global health governance.
- IEA: AI energy consumption forecasts highlight energy governance risks.
👉 Interpretation: strategic foresight signals, not immediate compliance triggers.
Cluster Patterns – September 2025
Industrial Policy Reloaded
WTO, DOJ, Brazil, India → governance becomes industrial policy.
Action: Reframe governance as location & contract strategy.
Standards & Compliance Convergence
EU, US, NIST, ISO, Singapore, Korea → accelerating convergence.
Action: Maintain one audit core, deploy crosswalk templates.
Social & Ethical Governance
Brazil Child Law, GPA Seoul → new compliance dimensions beyond privacy.
Action: Add Minor-Safety Controls.
Emerging Governance Powers
Nigeria, Brazil CADE, India → governance as market-entry barrier.
Action: Secure governance-labeled partnerships early.
Impact Heatmap (Impact × Urgency)
- 🔴 High + 🟢 Immediate: DOJ Antitrust (US) → urgent contractual actions.
- 🔴 High + 🟡 Medium-term: EU AI Act, U.S. Procurement → prepare now for 2026 deadlines.
- 🔴 High + 🟡 Long-term: WTO Trade Shift → embed strategically.
- 🟡 Medium + 🟢 Immediate: India DPDP, Brazil Child Law, Singapore Crosswalk → implement regionally now.
- 🟡 Medium + 🟡 Medium-term: Nigeria, Brazil CADE, GPA Seoul → prepare partnerships and templates.
- 🟢 Low: Colorado delay → watch only.
Futures Navigator (12-Month Outlook)
- 0–6 months: DOJ Antitrust, India DPDP, Brazil Child Law → contract & policy pressure.
- 6–12 months: EU High-Risk duties, U.S. Procurement RMF → auditability as market entry ticket.
- 12+ months: WTO Trade shifts, Nigeria AI Commission → systemic re-architecture of governance.
Patrick Upmann – Founder’s Note
With the Governance Radar Matrix, we created a format that doesn’t repeat news – it transforms global signals into governance actions mapped to OS layers.
Each cell answers three questions: What is happening? Where is the gap? Which control closes it? The traffic-light logic shows where action is urgent, where preparation is needed, and where foresight matters.
This positions AIGN OS as the world’s first Operating System for AI Governance – not only measuring readiness, but converting global events into auditable, certifiable controls.
Those who ignore the matrix will lose markets. Those who apply it will build the governance infrastructure of tomorrow.”
